Hi Brian,
At this moment (Mx6 and earlier) the time used in the AfterStartUp or BeforeShutDown event is always UTC. It is not like ScheduledEvents where you have a setting to define the timezone.
I think that the setting should be applied not only for the scheduled events but for all events that are triggered from a system perspective. I therefore have added a feature request in the support portal of Mendix.
Hi Brian,
You can find timezone settings in the project settings. By default scheduled events are not applying any timezone. Could it be that your results differ because of this setting?
